Stay-At-Home Order
The Sheriff’s Office is actively working to educate and allow for compliance before any sanctions are
given. We are not pulling people over and asking about travels. To do such a thing would be
unconstitutional and not helpful for a variety of reasons. We ask everyone to familiarize themselves with
the order and limit ALL unnecessary travel. Be advised the Governor is making frequent changes to orders
and restrictions (you may click HERE to view all Executive Orders that are current for the State of Michigan). Additionally, there is often interpretation questions of these various orders which must
be referred to the Governor’s Office. Please visit Michigan.gov/coronavirus for all up-to-date information.
Please always practice social distancing when outside of your residence.
